One day before the opening of the Winter Olympics in South Korea, the Kim Jong-un regime displayed at a military parade the intercontinental ballistic missile which it claimed after its maiden test flight last November could reach anywhere in the continental United States. Four hefty Hwasong-15 (U.S. designation: KN-22) ICBMs were showcased at Thursday’s parade in Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung square, each on a nine-axle transporter-erector-launcher. Footage from KCTV state television also showed other ballistic missiles on display, including the Hwasong-14 (KN-20) ICBM test-fired on July 4 last year, and also theoretically able to reach parts of the U.S. mainland.(Video) The

I was just thinking that if we have one and how the libs are wailing about the cost. For lil kim to have one it probably costs him about as much. Let the bone brain have ´em and watch his money go away. I know that the wooden rockets aren´t as expensive as real rockets, but there is some cost involved.

Three things we do not actually know that they are capable of which are necessary for this to be an actual ICBM.

1) a small and light enough weapon that can stand the high Gs, high and low temperature extremes, high vibration and severe shock of a launch and separation and reentry.

2) a reentry body which is aerodynamically stable and able to withstand the extreme temperatures and very high dynamic loads of reentry.

3) a guidance system which can put the weapon at least reasonably close to the target. 20 miles short of LA, or 20 miles west of San Diego, or 15 miles NW of San Fran Bay gets you either ocean or sparsely inhabited mountains, and mountains block the blast and heat very well. No picnic, but way, way less than a real hit on the center of a metro area.

Somewhat credible threat, but setting off a stationary ´device´ (which can be huge, and have the various functional pieces sitting on lab tables, literally, constant temp, 1G, no shock/vib) in a cave is way, way different than setting off a light, compact, shock, vibration, extremes of temperature and high G proof deliverable weapon. I am very certain of how difficult it is to make a weapon survive this environment, and I doubt that they are up to the challenge on the first try ever.

Mike Rowe shared his thoughts on the recent tragedy at Stoneman Douglas High School, and it will blow anything the establishment media has to say out of the water. Rowe wrote on Facebook, “Evil is real. As long as humans have walked the earth, people have chosen to do evil things. This is what happened in Florida. A nineteen-year old man chose to do an evil thing. He planned it. He executed it. He succeeded.” “Evil is real. As long as humans have walked the earth, people have chosen to do evil things,” he continued. “This is what happened in Florida.

The leftist push for gun control in the wake of a Florida school shooting took a turn for the bizarre — and creepy — Tuesday morning, after a billboard in Louisville, Kentucky was vandalized with the words, "KILL THE NRA." The billboard is apparently "calling out the National Rifle Association following the recent school shootings in Kentucky and Florida," according to local media. The message was signed, "Resist 45" — the calling card of a local Kentucky group that "opposes President Donald Trump" (to put it mildly) — likely some of the same people who have been suggesting Republicans have

Not even directing one of the worst box office bombs of 2017 could embarrass George Clooney into hiding. Nope. He´s back alright, and he´s donating big money to promote gun control. According to US Magazine, the George and his human rights lawyer wife, Amal, have donated $500,000 to the March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington D.C. that will advocate gun control in response to the horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida. “Amal and I are so inspired by the courage and eloquence of these young men and women from Stoneman Douglas High School,” the couple told US Weekly in

Editor’s Note — This op-ed was originally submitted to the Daily Californian, the student newspaper of UC Berkeley, by Berkeley student and Vice President of the Berkeley College Republicans Nahweed Tahmas. When contacted by Breitbart News to determine why the Daily Californian refused to publish Tahmas’ op-ed, the Editor-in-Chief sent a link to the paper’s op-ed guidelines, which state that they reserve the right to not publish “libelous, racist, sexist, homophobic or highly offensive” content. Support for “undocumented immigrants” is a quasi-religion here at UC Berkeley. Students regularly protest on behalf of “Dreamers,” and our school has an entire department

In the U.S. federalist system, each state government decides how to generate revenue — that is, which taxes to collect, and how. No state tax code is identical and, largely as a result, what the average American pays annually in taxes varies from state to state. 24/7 Wall Street reviewed the tax burden of residents in each state — the portion of income that goes to state and local governments’ taxes — from the report, “Facts & Figures 2017: How Does Your State Compare?” provided by tax policy research organization Tax Foundation. These tax burdens do not include the federal

The smarter Dems in Congress are catching on that Trump-hatred anchors their party to ending the Trump Boom. Hand them the majority, and they´ll paralyze us with impeachment. They know that Americans are responding to good economic times the way people always do: they like the party in power because they want the good times to continue. All those bonuses have tantalized millions who aren´t receiving them. They tell everyone money is in the air for people willing to show up and work. People don´t want to upset the apple cart. And this is freaking out the Democrats. They are

Actor-comedian Jim Carrey created an anti-Trump work of ‘art’ showing bloody bodies of dead students killed in the Parkland, Florida, school massacre and tweeted it to a teen student survivor of the attack. (Photo) The image shows President Donald Trump in silhouette on a golf course before a fairway littered with bloody bodies of children. Trump is shown yelling, “What’s wrong with these kids? Didn’t they hear me yell, FORE!” Carrey added the Twitter message with the handle for student surivor and now activist Cameron Kasky, “It’s President’s Day and Chief Little Hands has been busy tweeting from his golf resort,

Nancy Pelosi’s apocalyptic prophecies notwithstanding, the Republican-led tax reform bill is now enjoying support from a majority of Americans. A SurveyMonkey poll conducted by the liberal leaning New York Times between February 4 and February 11 shows support for the bill at a solid 51 percent, up from 46 percent last month and only 37 percent when the bill was first passed. And yes, given the source, don’t be surprised if the numbers are actually higher. “Public opinion is moving in the direction of this bill,” SurveyMonkey chief research officer Jon Cohen told the Times. “Considering where it was, it

DALLAS, Texas-A leader in Dallas politics does not want the National Rifle Association to meet in his city. Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway is urging the NRA to find a new home for its annual convention. He says the meeting is not appropriate in Dallas in the wake of last week´s school shooting in Florida. Caraway also points to the past tragedies in Dallas, including the 2016 ambush that killed five Dallas officers, and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. "It is a tough call when you ask the NRA to reconsider coming to Dallas. But it is putting

If Nikolas Cruz had been arrested for his prior criminal behavior he would not have passed a background check for a firearm purchase. The issue was/is not the background check; the issue was/is the lack of a prior arrest. Hence, the Broward County school and law enforcement policy is ultimately what failed. (Video) I don’t say this lightly, but the lawyers have the easiest case for ‘wrongful death’ lawsuits in the history of this type of litigation. The county policy constructed by public officials (School Board and Superintendent), and the county law enforcement policy that was specifically and intentionally designed

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court justices say they do not act politically when they decide cases. But they freely admit to taking account of politics in deciding when to retire. Most justices, for instance, try to step down under politically like-minded presidents. “That’s not 100 percent true,” Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist said in 1999, six years before he died, “but it certainly is true in more cases than not.” Such political calculations are perfectly proper, he said, as “deciding when to step down from the court is not a judicial act.” For the second year in a row, rumors that

President Trump will address the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday for the second year in a row, according to an agenda released on Monday. Vice President Mike Pence, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Fox News host Sean Hannity are also slated to speak this week at the conservative confab, which kicks off Wednesday at the National Harbor complex in Maryland. Thousands of conservatives are expected to descend on the region for CPAC’s annual convention, which is widely regarded as the Super Bowl of conservative politics. Trump was greeted with chants of

The FBI failed to investigate warnings about the Florida school shooter, but never mind that. And the National Rifle Association has no control over school shootings, but never mind that, either. Two newly minted gun control activists from Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida are defending the FBI, while demanding that NRA "child murderers" dismantle and disband. And they have declined an invitation to discuss their concerns with President Donald Trump, whom they call "disgusting."

On March 24 students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and other schools around the country will march in hopes of pressuring Congress to pass more gun control. Although the March is officially titled “March for Our Lives,” BuzzfeedNews reports the march is indeed focused on securing gun control: (Video/Tweet) ABC News reports that South Broward High School students have already begun rallying for gun control, with Sophomore Genesis Campbell leading chants while holding a sign that read, “No more silence, end gun violence.” And this all comes after Nikolas Cruz complied with gun control to acquire a rifle, then

How dirty is San Francisco? An NBC Bay Area Investigation reveals a dangerous mix of drug needles, garbage, and feces throughout downtown San Francisco. The Investigative Unit surveyed 153 blocks of the city – the more than 20-mile stretch includes popular tourist spots like Union Square and major hotel chains. The area – bordered by Van Ness Avenue, Market Street, Post Street and Grant Avenue – is also home to City Hall, schools, playgrounds, and a police station.As the Investigative Unit photographed nearly a dozen hypodermic needles scattered across one block, a group of preschool students happened to walk by

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence said she is taking a year-long break from acting to focus on activism and helping to “fix our democracy.” The Hollywood A-lister revealed her grand future plans on Thursday while promoting her new movie “Red Sparrow.” “I’m going to take the next year off,” Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m going to be working with this organization I’m a part of: Represent. Us. It’s just trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level.”

Students are in the middle of a lie-in protest outside the White House over gun laws just days after 17 people were killed in the Florida high school shooting massacre. Groups of students from Washington DC staged the protest on Monday on a road leading to the White House. They took turns lying on the road for three minutes - the same amount of time 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz went on a firing spree at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last week. Other students stood by holding signs that read ´Am I next?´ and ´Is Congress or the NRA making our

And now, ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, the first rendition of the national anthem at a major sporting event that would be more appropriate for some steamy scene from a movie than honoring those who have fought for the United States of America. Here is Fergie singing the anthem at the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. Viewer discretion advised: (Video) Reaction varied from hilarity at Fergie’s screeching to jokes about how she was attempting to make Francis Scott Key into a composer of a song more appropriate for the bedroom to simple outrage that Fergie would dishonor the

Hillary Clinton´s campaign chairman John Podesta – whose emails were hacked and leaked during the 2016 campaign – called out President Trump Sunday for not doing more to punish the Russians for their interference or prep the nation for when the Kremlin tries to do it again. ´If this is information warfare, then I think he´s the first draft-dodger in the war,´ Podesta claimed of Trump on Face the Nation. Asked about Trump´s motivations, Podesta said that Trump´s psyche is ´complicated,´ but added that ´he certainly can´t accept that this activity may have helped him, and I think he just constantly tries

An activist group has launched a voter registration effort aimed at black voters at screenings of the “Black Panther” movie nationwide. Members of the Electoral Justice Project, an offshoot of the Movement for Black Lives, are seeking to motivate black voters and increase political engagement with the #WakandaTheVote campaign, the website Blavity reported. Wakanda is the fictional African nation featured in the long-anticipated Marvel film “Black Panther.” Kayla Reed, Jessica Byrd and Rukia Lumumba founded the Electoral Justice Project last year, and told Blavity that the movement has been effective “because we meet our communities where they are, whether that´s

He has no idea how to make a majority of voters choose him. Mitt’s back. The former governor of Massachusetts and occasional native son of Michigan has a new persona: Mr. Utah. He’s going to bring Utah conservatism to the whole Republican party and to the country at large. Wholesome, efficient, industrious, faithful. “Utah has a lot to teach the politicians in Washington,” he says in announcing his Senate campaign. Maybe. There’s always been something unstable about Mitt Romney’s political identity.

Former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson served only three years in that role; she was reportedly fired in 2014 for an ill-founded complaint about her compensation and for her "brusque" workplace manner. Her editorial competence was not questioned, however. In the era of #MeToo equalizing the perpetrators of rape with those of inadvertent microaggressions, perhaps no one remains in elite New York media qualified to make such a judgment, anyway. This week, Abramson´s reputation seemingly landed her a 4,000-word New York magazine cover story, which resurrects the sexual harassment complaints against Justice Clarence Thomas:

The corner of Atlantic and Bedford Avenues in Crown Heights is Ground Zero of this middle-income neighborhood’s high anxiety. For the last two years, neighbors have complained to anyone who will listen that groups of men become an occupying force in the sidewalks around the huge 350-bed Atlantic Armory Men’s Shelter. On several recent mornings, the men were out en masse. Two Department of Homeless Services police officers leaned against the fence outside the 800-bed red-brick shelter. About 50 feet away a man nonchalantly urinated against the facility wall. Across Pacific St., men were sprawled on chairs and milk crates.
